His European defence on 18/9 could be been a banana skin which could have derailed a world title shot before it is too late. Therefore returning from injury could be rewarding. Pacman/Margerito have closed the WBC door until Mid 2011, but K9 may be the perfect option. Only Williams and Sechew Powell are above him. Williams has a tough fight against Martinez at 160, and Powell has not been out since March and there is nothing scheduled. The only problem is that Bundrage is with Don King who may want him as a Floyd opponent. The IBF conveniently keep their no 1 & 2 places vacant to prevent any fighter forcing a mandatory and thus being always available to give the big stars a convenient route to the belt.
